Summary

 His mother was amazed when she saw the size of her newborn infant and realised that feeding him was going to cause problems. She turned to a box of patent Porker Pills, used for fattening pigs. But the bigger Magnus grew, the more problems he caused.©1982 Fox Busters Ltd (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Animals Animals & Nature Fiction Literature & Fiction

I had this audio book when I was little and loved it even though it was filled with "long words" that an average child would have no knowledge of. Now I'm in my twenties I thought I'd give this story another listen and am not surprised to find that I still love it. I have the added advantage of understanding those "long words" now without needing Roland the rabbit to translate for me.

Just as enjoyable now as in the past

I'm so glad that this gem was both as beautifully written and narrated as I fondly remembered it.

Childhood favourite

I owned this audiobook on cassette tape when I was a kid and hadn’t heard it for probably 20 years. To find Audible had the very same recording that I had on cassette was quite a joy for me (yes it really is that old – note the outro at the end that declares the publishing company can “forward on any LETTERS to the authors or narrators”). It’s no exaggeration to say then that listening to Magnus Powermouse again was deeply nostalgic. It is a wonderful short story that is fantastically performed by Nigel Anthony. It brought a lot of memories back while at the same time uncovering humour and detail I was naïve to as a child. Something for everyone.
